To the point though. Off slow and Off a bit slow is pretty much just an arbitrary choice of wording by the chartmaker.
Steadied at start usually would involve horses colliding, while bobbling at the start would best be described as a self caused stumble. Usually it's nothing overly damaging to the chances of the horse running, unless maybe it's a speedball in a sprint.
If you'd like an example of a small bobble, watch Einstein at the start of the Foster, from post 3.

Thanks, guys. So, does off bit slow/off slow just mean the horse was a step or two slow out of the gate? (asked Mr. Obvious)
